What is a cybersecurity audit?
A cybersecurity audit systematically evaluates your security controls, policies, and technical posture against a defined standard, producing evidence of what's compliant and a prioritized remediation plan. Macksofy is a CERT-In empanelled auditor; our reports are accepted by RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and other Indian regulators without rework.
Cyber Audit is leverage, not paperwork.
Cybersecurity audits are the single most important evidence of security maturity for boards, regulators and B2B customers. A Macksofy audit goes beyond a control checklist — it tests controls, validates effectiveness and produces evidence acceptable for ISO 27001, SOC 2, CERT-In, RBI CSF and customer security questionnaires.
- Annual board / audit committee reporting
- Pre-funding / pre-acquisition due diligence
- Enterprise customer security assessments (e.g. Microsoft SSPA, Google SAQ)
- ISO 27001 / SOC 2 internal audit
Aligned to the regulations that matter.

“We've worked with three Big 4 firms before Macksofy. None found what their team did in our payments stack. The most actionable report we've received in a decade.”
“The CHFI training Macksofy delivered for our cyber cell raised investigation quality measurably. Practical, India-context-aware, and respectful of our operational realities.”
“Came in with zero security background. 5 weeks later I was running Burp Suite and Metasploit confidently. Cleared CEH on the first attempt.”
Cyber Audit — what compliance leads ask before signing.
